Researcher comments/remarks
Three years after the 2010-2011 earthquakes there are still many uncertainties about which buildings can or will be retained. The partial deconstruction of the old Lyttelton Harbour Board Building has enabled the modern extension to reopen. In a case of history repeating itself one of the tenants in the new part of the building is the Environment Canterbury Harbourmaster’s Office. Prior to the 1987 Local Government reforms the position of Harbourmaster was part of the Lyttelton Harbour Board.
